wONAN'S SUFFARAGE AS 1T
WORKS.

'"The secretary of State of Massa-
chusetts has issued a report showing
to what extent women have taken ad-
vantage of the law passed IN 1880
permitting them to vote at school
board elections. In 1881, l,517 ladies
voted, and in 1886, 1911. The
largest possible female vote in the
State is 100000, and hence it would
appear that after six years less than
six women out Of every thousand
take the trouble to record their
votes"
These figures show how little the
women care about the right of suf-
frage, and in South Carolina we be-
lieve the proportion of white women
who would take the trouble to record
their votes would be much less than
these figures. No, the women don't
care anything about voting. They
vote their husbands and that is
enough for them.

The Seven Cuticura Boys

Our Oldest child, now six years Of age, when
an infant six months DID, was attacked with
q virulent, malignant skin disease. All orci-
nary remedies falling, we called our family
physician, who attempted to cure it; but it
spread with almost incredible rapidity, until
the lower portion of the little fellows person
from the middle of his back down to his
knees, was one solid, rash, ugly, painful,
| blotched and malicious. We had no rest at.
| night, no peace by day. Finally, we were ad-
| vised to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES. Theef-
| feet was simply marvellous. In three or four
weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving
| the little fellows pdrson as white and healthy
as though he had never been attacked. In
| my opinion, your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child.

A Woman to be Hanged.

AsHEvILLE, April 2G.-Atthe present
session of the NJ tchell County Superior
Court a woman by the name OF CroWson
has just been tried and convicted for
one of the most tiendi>h and brutal muir
ders ever perpetratcd in the history OF
this section. She is white woman and
her child, born Of a colored father. was
four years old in January, the time OF
the murder Tired of the constant re-
minder OF her shame, this woman took
her offspring OF her unholy passion and
carried it to Tow River, some four miles
from her home, on a bitter cold day IN
January. The evidence was that the
diabolical outcast tied the hands and
feet of the child and, breaking away the
ice, plunged the helpless thing into the
freezing waters, unheeding its plaintive
entrcaties not to be put in the cold river.
The child's cries and pitiful prayers we're
heard by another Woman, who had ac-
companied the murdcress, int"rceding
for the child. The woman is sentenced
to be hanged.

reporters are so anxious for him to
talk more, and when he won't they
get somebody to talk for him. He
was hardly elected before there was
talk of his reelection. And that has
been going on ever since, one report
saying he would accept a second
term, another report saying he would
not; Mr.: Cleveland saying nothing.
Lately comes an interview with Mr..
Cleveland, through somebody else,
to the effect that he would not IN
der any circumstances have second
term; and almost before that is pub
lished there comes a denial Of this
report, to the effect that Mr.. Cleve-
land did not commit himself on this
subject. All this is for sensation
As we said before, we believe Mr..
Cleveland is a sensible man, and is
not talking much about such things.
It is time enough to discuss these
things. Mr.. Cleveland is nothing
but a man, and the Presidency of
these United States is a right nice
little Office; and when the time comes,
if he is thought to be the most avail
able man, we believe he can be in
duced to try it again.
Politics is very queer thing.

Solicitor Orr, whose views we
publish in this paper, on the
subject Of lynching, thinks the
trouble lies mainly in the techni-
ealities and cumbersome machi-
merry Of our criminal procedure.
An idea has gone abroad, from
some cause, that the machinery Of
Justice is too slow and there are
too many lodges and loopholes
through which criminals can es-
cape, for it to be depended on to
give justice to those guilty of
heinous crimes. What the trou
bic is we are not prepared just
now TO say. Of one thing We are
certain, that any law that is not
supported by public sentiment
which demands its enforcement,
is dead letter and had just as
well not be on the Statute book.
Our local cotemporary, the Obser-
Ger, thinks mob law is the out
growth Of a constant violation Of
the plain provisions Of the Consti-
tuition by our law makers and Of
fcers and those in authority.
Let US have a healthy public
sentiment that condemns mob
law, that condemns violation of
the provisions of the Constitution
in our Legislature, by our officers,
and in terms unmistakable, and
you Will see these things stop.
Those in authority try to be on
the popular side. The mob is
moved by the wave of public SEN
timent, and so on to the end Of
the chapter. Change your public
sentiment and YOU rectify the
whole thing.

CALHOUN DAY.

Last Tuesday was grand day
in Charleston. Thousands of peo-
pie gathered there from all parts
Of the Union to do honor once
more to the greatest Of all Ameri-
can Statesmen, John G. Calhoun.
It was the occasion of the unveil-
ing Of the monument erected to
his memory. Hon. L. @. c. La
mar delivered the Grafton on the
occasion. It occupied three hours
in delivery and was an eloquent
tribute to the life and works Of
the dead Statesman. Calhoun has
been dead thirty-seven years.
Many distinguished gentlemen
were present from other States.
The day will be one long remem-
bered in South Carolina, and the
name of John C. Calhoun will
last in the memories Of the peo-
pie of this country through gene
rations yet unborn, to the end of
recorded time.

ANYMPORTANT DECISION.

We print elsewhere an important
decision by the Supreme Court, on
the rights of married women, We
fail to see how the Court reached the
decision it did, but nevertheless 1t
has so decided, and for the time be-
ing, that decision is the law of the
land. By this decision, a mortgage
of land given by a married woman
cannot be foreclosed unless it ap-
pears that the money it secures was
for the benefit of her separate es-
tate. In other words, a mortgage
given by the wife to secure the debt
of her hasband is no good, and can
not be collected. It does seem to US
that the right to sell or alien her
separate estate would carry with it
the right to mortgage it, but the Su-
preme Court decides otherwise and
we bow to the ruling. According to
this decision the custom ADOPTED
among many business men, when the
title to real estate was in the
wife, of having the wife sign and be-
come surety for the husband, is USE
less and will be Of no avail, for the
Supreme Court says she has not the
legal right to pledge her separate es-
tate, by mortgage or. otherwise, for
any debt except for the benefit Of
her separate estate.
This decision will cause quite a
revolution in business circles. We
believe if women are allowed to own
separate estates, that their legal
status should be the same as the
husband, and if the present law can
not be so construed it should be
amended at once. The wives are be-
ginning to own all the real estate
anyway.

trimmed. These garments a-e guaran-
teed to fit, and made equal to any mer-
chant tailor garment. I have taxed my
best efforts in securing this class Of
goods from the best manufacturers in
order to compete with custom work, and
to sell you these goods at one-half their
price. Many who have had their clothes
made have been patronizing the Empo-
rum of Fashion. "Why?" Because they
get as fine suit, and will TT as we'll,
and better trimmed, and equally as we'll
made, and at considerable less lost.
The most important feature is that they
can keep trying on until they can get a
satisfactory fit and run no risk, IS they
usually do when having them made to
order.
